6 Testing & Final Assembly
Figure 25.
Pull outward on the axle shaft to seat the ‘C’ clip into the side gear.
Repeat the ‘C’ clip installation steps on the second axle shaft.
Re-insert the long cross shaft.
Using an automotive feeler gauge, check the maximum distance
between the axle shaft and the cross shaft. This measurement is
what is known as the end float.
Refer to your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for the
appropriate end float amount. ‘C’ clips may need to be substituted
with others of a different thickness to achieve correct end float if too
tight or too loose.
Insert and tighten the retaining pin with a 5mm hex key.
Reconnect the drive shaft to the differential drive flange.
Reassemble the remainder of the differential assembly
(e.g., hubs, brakes, wheels, etc.) to the vehicle according to your
vehicle’s service manual.
